If you know me I am a pretty upbeat guy. But I find it harder and harder to not see my boy everyday! I find myself grabbing on to his youth and hoping he can bring me back there. But I have to learn that he needs me to be support and his DAD. Not his friend or buddy(even though that is much funner). I noticed also he understands that Daddy is a push over and he knows how to work me. It is hard to discipline him since I love him so much, but I come to learn that he needs to be disciplined or he will take over. So I struggle with what I should do and what might be too much? Any of you single Dads or Moms got some comments or answers for me?
Wednesday is a tough day for me since it is the first day I haven't had my son for 4 days. I have come to find out that my life really does revolve around him and I need to get a life. I think sometimes I put to much pressure on being a great dad and over look on being a great Guy. So this year I am going to try and be more about me. Giving Ryder his time but yet also taking my time to improve my life, happiness and find someone to love!
I hope you all have great plans for the New Year and lets start 1-1-11 off with a great Celebration.

"The day my son was born, I simultaneously died and was reborn. Every day before that day, my life had been about me and what I wanted the world to give me. Every day since, my life necessarily has been about what I can give to someone else. And that, I think, is why the world needs more children - and more parents." ~~ Kevin, Attorney from Richmond VA
So nice to read your thoughts Chris. You're already an amazing guy and great dad...and I know you're dedicated to your boy beyond measure. The post-holiday blues are easy to succumb to, but I know you'll pick yourself back up and be your usual cool guy self. Love you!
